Do you know who I am?!

Tum jante ho mein kis ka beta/bhai/bhateeja hun?

Have you ever heard anyone use this somewhat threatening phrase in real life? If so, what was your reaction?

I was under the impression that only the bad ol’ villains say this in the movies but I’m appalled to have heard people say this in real life situations. Some teen was stopped by the traffic police in Pakistan, for example, and off he went - “Tum jante ho mein kis ka beta hun? Tumhari tau wardi utarvaun ga mein. Yeh lo baat karo bachu hands him the phone

you tell first. :barbie:

I know, you are Altaf Bhai of GS. Your area’s unit in-charge (channel mangers), general worker (admins), political worker (sathi/kafan posh), and supporter (chamchy) can do anything on your order.

You are specialized in bori band(perm. ban), warning (temp. ban), torture (infractions). No go area(forum restrictions) may be created upon your request.

Re: Do you know who I am?!

I had some robby doctor uncle try to use that on me a few years ago. i was at an APPNA event and his family wanted to take seats of a few ladies who had left their bags and coats etc and gone to rest room. his family wanted to move the stuff and sit down, when i told them the seats were taken and to stop moving people's things, he started smack talk and while I tried to politely explain that I was not holding seats but that ppl were indeed sitting there and had just gone to the rest room, he threatened to hit me,

I was polite at first, but then when he got on the talk track that i dont know who I am messing with and he is this or that phannay khan, he will have me thrown out and then when he was reaching to hit me, I stopped him at first and then told him that he is free to hit me in front of all the people and I will sue him for assault after I am done beating his lard ass in self defense. I then proceeded to curse him out in front of his kids taunting him that you are unable to do anything now mr big shot and that he does not deserve someone talking to him politely because when i did he got hostile....so now he deserves being cursed out in front of his kids and can get lost. He walked away with his family with his tail between his legs.

ahh that felt good.

Re: Do you know who I am?!

never seen that happening myself.

Re: Do you know who I am?!

once a guy who was given my First AC train berth to a politician to which i tried to raise hell on the Indian train. the conductor said, do you know who got your seat? i said i do NOT care who the hell he is...upon this the guy himself walked up to me...and said..."bhai saab, naaraaz na hoiye, ham aapko bhii accomodate karvaa deNge...well, he got me a berth in the Second AC coach...a lower class of service and hence less private and less comfy!

in India, VIP's can bump you off and you lose your confirmed reservation. he was at least enough gentleman to have given me a berth elsewhere or else i would have missed my flight the next day from Delhi to Toronto...i was traveling from Lucknow [Provincial Capitol] to New Delhi [the Nation's Capitol] and the train is very popular with politicians/VIP's.

Re: Do you know who I am?!

STA, I’d rather be dead than be anything like Altaf bhai :snooty:

X2 bhai omg :bummer: Good on you! He wanted to hit you over a bunch of seats that were not even his?! Cuckoo insaan!

I think Gina also shared an incident once. She was in a Dubai shopping mall and saw the actress Ayesha-something skipping the queue. When asked to get back in the queue, she goes “Do you know who I am? I’m Ayesha-something.” But Gina told her to get her bottom back in the line. Go Gina! :smiley:

Re: Do you know who I am?!

:D

Re: Do you know who I am?!

bottom back in line?? :rotfl:

you just killed the phrase by appropriatizing it..

Re: Do you know who I am?!

But you had it booked! That's just insane! I would've demanded my seat that I had paid for but then again may be I'm being naive, may be I would've been thrown out the train had I created a scene!

Re: Do you know who I am?!


exactly...these politicians belong to GhunDa Parties and the goodwill gesture and the civility he showed was quite uncommon...so, i think i got a good deal...he sorta apologized [in their own arrogant way] and provided a berth. in India, VIP's have priority. they can bump you off even if you had a confirmed paid reservation...India is a land where political might is right! :(

Re: Do you know who I am?!

oh yesss…all the time…when I worked in Abu Dhabi, you get that when you work in the Hotel Industry..specially when you have lots of bade baap ke bigare hue aulaad coming… and sometimes it is the baaps and the maas themselves who are like that.

or they will say “I know your..manager, director, GM, ect.”

I have no patience for ppl like that…

I remember one event where this guy, who was some big shot from CNN who came to check-in without his ID, and I refused to, and he started going off on me, “Do you know who I am?”, because it is my job to be polite, I just looked at him and said “We need your ID to check you in.” then ofcoz the next thing they love to say is “I want to speak to your manager.” ofcoz my manager told him the same thing…so he HAD to go get his ID.

Ofcoz there was another one..it was a swedish diplomat, this was when I was working on an Island, and he missed the boat to the island coz HE was late…then he started screaming at the girl in the reception asking her to turn around the boat!!! BTW, he was given a complimentary room…it got so ridiculous that the GM found out, and he came to greet this guy to the docks and told him, “I heard that you screamed at the girls in the reception, and you made one of them cry? So this is how it is going to work from now, you either pay for your room or you leave this Island!!”

It was so hilarious :rotfl: the guy left the Island…it was a 5hr drive to get to us and then another 5hr drive fo him to get home :cb:

Re: Do you know who I am?!

As long as no one is saying this to a mirror, its all fine and dandy. ;)

Re: Do you know who I am?!

Lol I love how your seniors backed you guys up, aaliyah!

Re: Do you know who I am?!

yup..it was pretty good...and the diplomat's face looked like a tomato, ofcoz I had to write a huge report about the incident, coz we knew it was going to go on with this guy...

Re: Do you know who I am?!

:k:

Re: Do you know who I am?!

You should’ve ended it with “Apply cold water to the burned area”. :hypo:

Re: Do you know who I am?!

I think in Pakistan any person who gets stopped by the police says this line for sure :cb: All you gotta do is say it with a heck load of attitude and it will make the poor police wala think that you are the commissioners rishtedaar or something !

Re: Do you know who I am?!

I know who you are. The entire investment community knows who you are. Who can forget the interview when you were asked about the recent change in pension fund obligation accounting - with companies being allowed to use a higher discount rate - thus decreasing their present value of future obligations - and increasing their bottom line ( not the Ayesha variety).

And to your credit, you stated HUM(A) does not believe in accounting gimmicks to pad our bottom line ( again no pun intended).

Re: Do you know who I am?!

I have had people say that to me…but I never have any idea who they are referring to :bummer:

This stuff is usually lost on me…could care less who is related to who.

Do they pay my bills? What’s that? No? Okay then get in line sweetheart and OH here’s your bill.
